was educated in the public schools of Ne
vada county and at the Ciaverack Military

industrial exhibits at the Centennial Expo

the debris survey on the Sacramento
river, work entailing great physical hard

Do you send your heart before you, dear
When coming home at night,
That feel your presence drawing near,
While still you're far from sight?
Does the soul outrun the body, dear,
That an echoing football feet,
Strikes on an inner listening ear
Before your own greet?
Thy loving smile lights up the space
OF twilight darkening down;
| feel warm kisses on my face
While still sit alone.
Hasten to one whose happy fate
Is in thy care to dwell;
Hasten where love and duty wait.

days and in that country colleges were far
apart, and that his parents, being teachers,
were poor, goes without the saying. So
young Raymond worked on the farm in
the summer and taught school in the
winter, after the fashion Of the time
and place. to get himself a year
of academic training, which, he
says, consisted more of free browsing,

neftion with this he continued his lectures
